When it comes to fashion, country music superstar Shania Twain never shies away from a challenge. With her wide range of stage looks, memorable music video outfits and stunning red carpet dresses, Shania knows how to make a statement. And that’s exactly why this year, we think you should honor Shania and her iconic career with one of these seriously impressive Shania Twain-inspired Halloween costume ideas.
Yes, we’ve included ideas that give a nod to that incredible leopard print number she donned in the "That Don't Impress Me Much" music video, as well as her "Man, I Feel Like a Woman" outfit.
We’ve also included some getups that are super easy to make at home so you can pull together ultimate Halloween costume for women at the last-minute. If that’s not enough, many of these frocks can also be modified to be appropriate for work. So, get ready to show all of your coworkers and neighbors why Shania Twain still reigns supreme as one of the best entertainers of all time (as if her designation as top-selling female country artist of all time, ability to transition into the pop charts and winning at the 2023 CMT Awards don’t already speak for itself).

Shania Twain "That Don't Impress Me Much" Costume
If you do one Shania this Halloween, let it be the one from her 1997 hit. The head-to-toe leopard print look will stop people in their tracks. The best part is that you can decide just how much leopard you want to wear: just the coat or commit to the whole thing. Instead of carrying around a giant piece of luggage, opt for just a round purse

Though this is one of her newer singles, this video has a plethora of eye-catching looks. We decided to zero in on the Prince-inspired number topped off with a pastel pink wig.

Shania Twain "Man! I Feel Like A Woman" Costume
Shania flipped the switch when she decided to recreate Robert Palmer's famous "Addicted to Love" video with herself as the lead. Pair an ankle-length trench coat with a top hat and veil, and definitely play up the smokey eye. Oh, and don't forget to scream "let's go girls," every so often. Bonus points if you can create a couples costume by making your guy dress up as one of the backup dancers.
